RUBLUMBAGOOR BACKACHEAWAY Pat- PUTNAM NEWS recalls to the minds of the constantly diminishing number of natives of Ire- land in this and_ surrounding towns the changes that have taken place in the population of Danielson and vicin- ity since that time, approximately half a century ago, when the Irish settlers first began to come Into this section in numbers Their number increased rapidly and for the most part, in the early “days, they found empioyment on the farms in the eastern part of the county. Later they entered the man- ufacturing plants in great numbers, but gradually gave place in this line ©of endeavor to other nationalities, The first noticeable decrease in the number of Irish people hereabouts Was about 30 years ago and the decline has been steady ever since. Finding greater opportunities elsewhere, or forced by Industrial conditions Into other flelds, families whose names had lons been familiar in the towns began to disappear. Children who had gone elsewhere and won success that later attracted their parents to them in their new homes took other families away. A hundred other reasons won away one family and anether, In ‘other days, even up to_fifteen years ago, the observance of St. Pat- Tick’s day by the giving of some im- portant dramatic event or other enter- tainment suggestive of the Emerald Isle was as inevitable as the coming of the day itself. All this has changed With the new conditions and the day now passes here without the significant observance so cherished by the older people, always warm-hearted to the land of birth, though not a whit less loyal to the land they gave it up for. OVER $2,000, . Borough’s Debt Has Been Reduced, According to Annual Statement. The draft of the financial state- ment, to be Included in the annual borough repdrts, is now in the hands of Warden Burdette C. Hopkins, and the figures tell the very gratifying story of a reduction of the borough debt by $2,157.80, during the fiscal year. This revision downward of the trend of public ebt in borough and town will be hailed with no ordinary degree of satisfaction by cltizens—all citizens as well as those who are taxpayers of record. The showing is a splendid one and reflects much credit on the ad- ministration, The year has presented favorable appertunities to the board and the most has been made of them. There were- no extraordinary expenses to meet, no sewers to build. Economy has been the watchword in guarding the borough's finances. The money on hand has been increased from about $600 a vear ago to more than $2,000 at the present time. This sum, it is believed, will be sufficient to mreet the ordinary expenses of the borough un- til tax collecting time next fall and will relieve the incoming administration from the necessity of borough money 2nd paving interest charges thereon. The borough @ebt as of date of the forthcoming report will be shown as $45,847.53. The "absence of heavy special ex- penses during the past year is not like. 1y to be noted during the coming year of pending applications for civic im- provements are favorably acted upon. It is understood that a petition will be recelved at the annual borough meeting from citizens of Carter street asking that a 'sewer be built there. This work, if voted, should not prove very expensive as the grade of the stréet will permit of building a sewer at comparatively small cost. New Warden Must Be Nominated. This matter and others of borough interest will come up at the annual meeting next month. The caucus for the nomination of borough officers. is set for Tuesday of next week. It is PUTNAM Jurv Awards $452 to Mrs. Mary/E. Healey from Estate of Former Greeneville Couple—School Interests —Truant Officer's Report—Banquet to Pastor, Chorister and Choir of Congregational Church In the superior court Tuesday morn- ing the case of Mary Ellen Healey vs. James Gorman, administrator, was be- Zun before Judge M. A. Shumway and a jury. Plaintiff sought to recover $616 from the estate of Catherine Lynch for services rendered during her lifetime. She claimed $3.50 per week for a period of 176 weeks, Mrs_ Healey, the plaintiff, testified that Mrs. Lynch and her husband, an old couple, were living in Greeneville. They,wanted someone to care for them and an agreement was made.with Mr. Healey that if he and his wife would give the couple a home, whatever was left of Mrs. Lynch’s estate at the time of her death would g0 to the one who took care of them. She began taking care of the couple in 1909 and con- tinued that care, with the exception of 21 weeks, up to March, 1913. Mrs. Lynch was practically helpless ~and she did her housework, washed and dressed her and was a companion_to her, waiting on her in every way. She thought the sérvices rendered were reasonably worth $3.50 a week. Patrick Lynch, husbang of deceased. told of the care given his wife and himself and of the agreement and said that Mrs. Healey deserved to be pald. Other witnesses who testified for the plaintiff were James Healey, the plain- tiffs husband, Emma Peto of New York, formerly of Moosup, Celia Dailey and William Thoroux, who_ all told of the care Mrs_ Healey gave Mrs. Lynch. Attorney Thomas M. Shields of Nor- wich was counsel for Mrs. Healey, At- torney Charles L. Torrey of this’ city for the administrator. At the afterncon_session Dr. Frank Downing and Dr. Alphonse Fountaine testified to attending Mrs. Lynch and the care given her by the plaintiff. Other witnesses in corroboration of work done by the plaintiff were Flora Hayward, Willlam H Hayward, Mary Bibeault 'and Alice Flaherty, all of Moosup, Taking up the defendant's side of the case, Attorney Torrey called Mrs. Nellle Corrigan of Suffield, a widow with six children, to the stand. Mrs. Corrigan is an helr of Mrs. Lynch. Mrs. Corrigan testifled that the de- ceaseq had told her she had had trou- ble with the Healeys and wanted to get awav. because the Healeys were all the time after her money. She had a good home in Norwich and they coaxed her up there. She had sent the Healeys money and never got it back. They had tried to get her to buy a farm in their name. Mrs. Healey had wanted her to make a will and she wouldn’t do it. She sald, the witness declared, that Mrs. Healey opened her letters. Cross-examined by Attorney Shields, Mrs. Corrigan sald she had never promised anvone more than the reg- ular witness fee to testify in the case when it came to trial. Letters were shown the witness which she admitted were written by her in which she promised a cousin more than witness fees if she would be a. witness. Miss Daley also testified that she had been offered money. to testify for Mrs. Cor- rigan, Andrew J. Brennan of Cambridge, another heir of Mrs. Lynch, corrob- orateq preceding witnesses as to some of the statements made by the de- ceased. The case reached the jury so that they retired to their.room at 4.03, re- turning about forty minutes later with 2 verdict for Mrs. Healey to recover $452.50. Court adjourned until this (Wednes- day) morning. Supt. Mowry’s Resignation Accepted. The following _correspondence _has passed between Superintendent W. A.

Dear Mr. Torrey: I'was recently elected superintendent of schools at Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and have today recelved official notification of the appointment. I have decided to accept the position and consequently. tender you herewith my resignation as superintendent of Putnam schools. Some considerable time before my electionn at Woonsocket 1 discussed with the great majority of your com- mittee the possibility of such an event and of receiving an honorable release from Putnam. 1 permitted the use of my name as a candidate at Woonsock- et only after I had. been assured that satisfactory arrangemeénts could prob- ably be made to permit me to take up my work there, in case I rhould be elected. I wish it understood that, in tendering my resignation, I desire to follow such suggestions as you may deem advisable for the good of our schools here. I should like to take up my new duties, in part at least, when the new term opens in, Woen- socket April 5. This will be the week of our spring vacation here. If you desire that I continue to devote some time each week to our schools here for part or all of the remainder of the school year, I shall endeavor to ar- range matters so that this' may be done. The new position offers a larger field of responsibility, with greater remun- eration, and with the pleasant antici- pation of a return -to the city where my early life was spent I assure you, however, that I tender this resigna- tion with deepest degrets. I have much enjoved my residence and my work in Putnam. I have found the people most cordial and deeply inter- ested in the welfare of their schools. The teachers are loval workers, sup- porting me splendidly in my sugges. tions. =My relations with the school board have been exceedingly pleas- ant: in fact, they haye been-of a very friendly nature. The board has shown entire confidence in my administration and has given me the heartiest sup- Port, which I appreciate and for which I cordially thank the members, Yours very sincerely, WENDELL 4.

Mowry’s Suggestion to the Board—Improvement in School At- tendarice and Punctuality—794 Pu- pils Enrolled. The following of interest appears. in the March reports on the schools in Putnam and on the work of the tru- ant officer: School statistics for February are as follows: Enrollment, boys 414, giyls 380, total 794; average member- ship 643; average attendance 580; membership at the close of the month 660. The teachers report 1154 1-2 days absence of puplls and 86 pupils tandy, With a total of 130 cases of tardiness. Two hundred forty-one pu- pils have a perfect attendance record for the month. The total enrollment s a nincrease of 14 pupils since my last report. The present membership is four more than was reported at the, close of January. I am holding a series of meetings with the teachers of the primary and srammar grades. The teaching of penmanship needs to be taken vigorously in hand. The pupiis of Putram are, as a rule, poor writers. The Gesired _ improvement may be brought about by one or two {man. a methods, the employment of a su- pervisor of penmanship or the adop- tion of one of the modern systems of writing which gives definite instruc- tion to and requires definite results from teachers as well as pupils. Our school system is not large enough to warrent the expense of employing a supervisor of penmanship. We can, however, adopt at comparatively small cost one of these systems of writing to which I heve referred and which are giving the dedired results in oth- er places. Our course _of instruction in the lower primary srades needs to be con- siderably revised. I find that too mueh emphasis is_being placed upon arithmetic in the first grades and too little upon the reading. The teachers share my opinion in this. Another need which you will be obliged to consider for the next school year is the equipment of the schools ith new text books in geography. We are using this year books which are badly worn and some of them hardly fit for use. The cxténston of the Trade School, High School Cocperative Course to benefit the girls of the community, as well as tae bovs, has received much attention in your meetings. ‘Consider- able progress bag been made in this direction duting the past month. A course of instruction, embodying the necessary academic studies as well as the practical work in sewins, dress- making ard cooking, has been drawn up. This will require 1800 hours per year of Instruction and work for the girls. The boys' course requires 2, 400 hours per year. There are 14 girls at present in the high school, who wish to take the complete co- operative course and 9§ others who, de- sire eooking er sewing alome. I be- lieve these numbers will be consider- ably increased as soon as the course becomes established.

Respectfully submitted, WENDTLL A. MOWRY, Superintendent of Schools, Truant Officer’s Report, March 1st, 1915. Committee: Gentlemen: During February your| ant officer mzde thirteen personal visits and brought one prosecution. | The number of personal visits was considerably less than in Januar month he found only one fami- Iv_who pleade poverty. However, the selectmen gave away to school chil- dre pairs of shoes, three pairs lof rubbers, and cloth for two dresses. Evidently the parents sousht to pro- o the necessary clothing for their children without waiting to be visit- ed. Heretofore the officer has not called upon_the outlying schools because of the expense which it would make to town. In ccnsequence some par- in these districts have become careless in regard to the attendance of their children. But arrangements have now beer made with the super- intendent whereby the truant officer can visit these cutside schools with little or no added expense. In one of these districts visited on February §, there nad in four weeks been twenty-one cases of tardiness. In the three weeks which have elaps- ed since, there have beel. five tardi- nesses. In this school during the first rour weeks two children from the same family had each been tardy sev-| en times. In the three weeks since the officers’ visit neither one had had a tardy mark against him. In this same district three children who had been kept out on account of insuffi- cient clothing have now been provided for and are back at their studies. Respectfully submitted, L. F. BATTEY. Complimentary Banquet. The annual banquet served by the Ladies’ Social circle of the Second Congregational church to the members of the choir, the chorister, the pastor and Mrs. Sargent, was held Tuesday evening when plates were laid for nineteen. ~ The banquet hall in _the Congregatior al church was made most attractive by the use of palms, ferns and roses, arganged to give the ap- pearance of a room covered in green_ with the table set in the cen- fer of this alluring grove. A don- y cart, mounted on a large green shamrock, sehved as a centerpiece with harps, snakes and smaller shamrocks of paper placed here and there among smilay. Place cards, the work of Art- ist Thomas Thurber of Putnam Heights, werc attractively worked up each one having a suggestion of St Patrick. Mr. Williams (the chorister) found upon his rlace card a Pipe from which clouds of smoke seemed to is- sue and a ‘motto which included the Pipe Organ. Each card afforded much interest and many compliments for the originality of the artist. Favors of hats recorated with shamrocks Putnam, Conrn., Town _Schog were used. The menu included boullion, bread sticks, creamed chick- in in baskets, kot roils, clives, celery jelly, fruit szlad, lemon sherbet, as- sorted cakes, green candies, nuts, and coffee. Rev, F. D. Sargent in a clever and interestinz manner gave the toast, “Our Choir and Our Choirister,” h was heartily arplauded. L. O. Williams, the chorirter, gave equally as interesting a_toast, “Our| Fastor and His Wife” in which hel eferred to this being the beginning of | 1 vear that Mr. and Mrs. Sar- gent had heen in this city, as it was| 5 years ago last September sincel Mr. Sargent accepted the call to Put- nam, Grape juice was served during the toast session. An_orchestra com- posed of Mrs. C. D. Tor Mrs. E. M. Warner and Miss Bertrude War- ner plaved old fashioned Irish melo- dies between the courses. The young people could not resist joining in sing- ing with much vim to the familiar tunes. The committee in_charge of the successful feast was Mrs. Mar Medbaury, president of the Ladies’ cirele and the vice presidents, Mrs. Ernest Morse and Mrs, Pease, assistl ed by Miss Mary Wheaton and Miss Bertha Sargent, Gilbert Perry, Gould Beard, Johr A. Warner and = Alvin Martin acted as waiters. Shamrock Party. Alpha Delta class of the Second Concregational Sunday school, Miss Harriet Brown, teacher, held an _en- joyable party at the home of Mrs. Walter Wheaton in Prospect street on Tuesday evering. Various _games, including “Going to Ireland,” Kissing. the Blarney Stone” and others were played after which green punch, cakes in shapes of shamrocks and leaves with green frosting were serv- ed. The committee in charge was Mrs. Vernia Danforth, Mrs, Charles Letters and Miss Marion Warren, POMONA JOINT MEETING. Programme By Three Orgamizations Saturday at Willimantic.
